COAL
Mined:
China, India, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, USA, Colombia
Grades:
Ranges from 2800 NCV to 7000 NCV, depending upon the origin and specifications.
Key Type:
Thermal Coal and Metallurgical Coal
Industrial Uses:
Thermal coal finds its usage as a fuel in electricity generation where it is burnt to generate steam, which further spins turbines and generates electricity. It is also sued as a raw material for DRI (sponge iron) manufacturing and industrial processes like cement production, paper manufacturing, and chemical industry. It further finds its usage in manufacturing of various chemicals, such as benozle, coal tar, sulphate of ammonia, creosote, activated carbons, carbon fibre, and silicon metals.
Metallurgical coal (also known as coking coal) is used as a raw material to smelt iron ore into iron and make steel. The high temperatures from burning coal give steel its strength and flexibility for bridges, buildings, and automobiles.
IRON ORE
Mined:
Australia, Brazil, South Africa, India
Grades:
Ranges from 53 FE to 68 FE, depending upon the origin and specifications.
Industrial Uses:
Iron ore is typically mined and then processed to extract the iron content. This extracted iron can then be used to create steel, which is used in construction, transportation, and various other industrial and consumer products.
Iron ore can be used as a substitute for limestone in the production of cement and iron ore fines are also used in the production of sinter, which is a type of pellet used as a feed to blast furnaces.
Iron ore is the main ingredient in steelmaking. Steel is used in a wide variety of products, including construction materials, transportation vehicles, and consumer goods. It is also used to make sinter, a type of pellet used as a feed to blast furnaces, and as a substitute for limestone in the production of cement. However, 98% of all iron ore mined today is used to produce steel.
